Recent reports from the Young Man's Christian association iudicato that the value of the general privileges to wblcli member ship in the association entitles the holder i now being appreciated nioro than nt any previous tlino. At the last meeting of tbo exoctlvo board , which took place last Satur day evening , tburo were forty-livo nnjnos added to tbo roll. Of those forty-one were non-church members , ana this is regarded as a good sli'ii , as Indicating the increased in terest that is being felt in the asboci.itlon by young men who make no prutentlons to being what are commonly known as "Sunday school young men. " The total number of additions during the past four months has been 101 , and it Is thought the number would hnvo been greater than tins had it not been for the extreme dullness of thotimusand the scarcity of nionoy. At the present rate of mcroastt , the man agement fear that the bath rooms and the reading room will soon become too small for tbo needs of the association , and It Is tholr Intention to comuienco to agitate the project of eroding a line building as soon as money manors brighten up a llttlo.

NUMEROUS PISTOL SHOTS EXCHANGED. Were Quite Anxious to Hlilc lleiieutli Cur SeatH Until tin : I'linlllade WHH No More. J. O. Lemon returned last Prldny from Greenville , S. C. , wliero be went to ot four children who wcro to bo kept In the Christian home. Whllo on board a train going from Chicago to Louisville ho bad a chance to view tbo practical operations of a real , live Indiana feud , and ho can't say that bo Is par tlcular about making a closer acquaintance with the animal. Mr. Lemon's account of tbo affair Is a voty graphic ono : "I wns riding along , peaceably enough , In a chair car , " ssdd bo. "when suddenly the door opancd and a lot of passengers came rushing In with fright depleted on tholr fares.V'o learned that a couple of warring * families had boarded tbo train and bad com menced a pitched battle In the car In front of vs. There were four on a side. A distiller named Hass , about llfty years of ago , and a younger man named Tcdd , who bad married a daughter of Mass' against tbo Inttcr's wishes , were tbo two cential llguros. Tbo weildlng , It seems , bad rosulto.l in a deadly hatred between the distiller and his son-in- law which , as each bud boasted , could only bo wiped out by blood. "Tbo trouble was not diminished any by tbo fact that Mrs. Hn s loft her husband aud wont to live with tbo daughter and her husband. Todil had subsequently furnished information which led to the old. man bclni * tried on a cliargo of 'moon shining. ' "On tbo Kith , which was tbo day when the bad feeling ro.iched its climax , Todd , his wife , Mrs. Hass , and a neluhbor named Turner , boarded tbo train to take a trip , .lust as the train was about to start , Bass , two of bis brothers and a friend cnteied the car whore Todd and liK party wcro seated. As soon as Hass noticed his son-ii.-huy , ho drew a gun and lli 'd at him. Uv actual count , tbcro wcro seventeen shots exchanged , aud as you may suppose , by the tlmo the two men had finished their" friendly encounter their audience had largely left them. That accounted for tbo sudden increase of tbo population of the car where I was. None of tlio trainmen dared to put their noses insldo tbo door , lor fear of getting hit , and the Uass- Todd combination ran things their own way. "Suddenly our door opened again , and Mrs. llass rushed In. her hair disheveled , her face as palo us death , crying out , 'my husband will kill mo because I loft him ' In less time than it takes to tell it , every passenger in tbo car was unilor the se.it in front of him , in the expectation that Mrs. Hass would bo immediately followed bv her husband , who had showed such a reckless disregard of tbo skins of the passengers who bad been In the other ear. A bright notion suddenly passed through my betid I seized Mrs. Hass and shoved her into a toilet room , tcl'mg ' tier to lock tbo door. In an Instant the door opened airain and the Uass party rushed In with pistols , on tbo warpath for the lleelng M s. Hass. Tliov wunt through the cur , but forgot to look in the toilet room , and Mrs. Hass was passed by. If she had been found in tl.ocar with us I suppose that half of the passengers in our c.ir would have been perforated , and very likely the Christian homo would have had to get n new manager. "As it was. Turner was knocked otT the train while It was , going at full speed , re ceiving a ghastly cut on the siclo of bis head , about ten inches long , find receiving internal injuries that resulted in his speedy death ; To.ld was shot in tbo back ; ono of tbo Hass family was shot In tbo back of the head and it wns thought ho would die. and another was shot in tbo hand ; Mrs. Todd received a shot in the hand accidentally from her husband' * revolver. ' And ns thoiich nil this wasn't enougb , within three botirs after nil the excitement took nlaco wo ran ever n drunken man aim killed him Tbo next evening , while on the same train , wo had u collision with a .sec tion hand who was driving a balky mule , and both man and mule were killed Instantly. I made up my mind that I bail as much oxcltc- inout as was good for my health , and when I was ready to leave Grconvillo 1 took another route home.

Hull preached yesterday morn- tnguttho First Iluptist church , oil iho sub ject , "Wnitt Saves a MniH" The cnurcb was well tilled , n largo number of members of other denominations being present In addi tion to the members of hU own church. "Thcolegy changes , " said the speaker , men's needs do not change. Human nature has been tbo same flora the beginning of i hutnuu wcauuossos are ibo tame today us a thousand years ago. The moans of I sntUf.ving .some of thotto need * have changed to a certain extent , although In general the mode U the same now M it has always been. Thosnmorulo prevails In religion. Thcro have boon ologlos ami isms by the doren , yet man's salvation hos In the fact that Christ dlod for sinners , slnnora of all kinds : the man who doesn't know enough to hide his wickedness under the cloaK of apparent respectability , and tbo dude who sins with bis kid gloves on. Tno polished gentleman who knows how to sin without transgress ing the Inws of otiuuottc Is the more danger ous of the two. "Sin never changes. It has many mani festations , but they all resolve themselves Into plain , unvarnlshod sin. All those mani festations are leaves stripped from the tree of sin. Reformers climb the tree and care fully trim oil the leavo1) . The trco goes right on growing , until God strikes at trio root and the tree falls. "No ecclesiastical rules can do away with sin. The only romoJy Is evcilastlng life. A man may bo the greatest schemar in town and yet bo dead. Life comes with Jesus ; without Him It is only cxistunco. You never heard of a trco taking up the nourishment from the ground without life power which hfo gives It ; you never heard ol a sinner re ceiving the holy spirit without help from above. . "When a man fasts ho comes Into closer connection with God. When a man attends urayer meeting hU spirit Is revived. Consequently quently many fast nnd attimd prayer meeting In order to rome in closer communion with ( oil Hut they commence at the wrong end. Ttio reason why a man fasts Is tUat ho already has In his soul the germ of everlasting life. You can never mnko a man good by getting him into the church or by giving him the po sition a good imtn should have. A man should bo led to join the church by the dovel- opoment of the germ of life that was Im planted In him by dlvlno agency. " 1 don't care whether a man believes in a heaven or a hell , in sprinkling or Immersion , Just so bo has eternal l fn. I don't say that beliefs are unimportant ; ' I do say that there are those , who in heathen daritncss have found the true light , while In civill/ed countries there are many who arc depending for salvation on what Is merely ono of the wheels of the machinery of salvation. On judgment day the question won't be , wlun position did you have in the church , but , have you light ! " "When wo see n man or n woman trying to satisfy his loticings on the husks of tbo world , wo ought to icjoicc , for it shows merely that tuoy are seeking after C5od. Tbo covetous man , \\lio approaches the uravo with his back stooping under the weight of years , whoso wife has been deprived of all tbo blessings of life in order that her hus band may noar.l bis monoy. that man is seek ing after Ciod. Ilo will d"io with the bag full of money , but bo will not die satisfied. Bternal life Is what ho wants. Christ offers you this llfo this morning. It moans continual ups nnd downs. Hut look at a .ship making Its own way across tbo ocean ; it goes ilrst In ono direction , and then in another. At almost no tlmo it is point : In the exact direction of Its destina tion. And yet , viewed as a whole , tbo direc tion of the Journey is almost in a straight lino. There's life in the eneines of the boat nnd she goes on buttling with the waves and the winds. "I've no sympathy with the sanctified Christianity which is dead to sin , dead to the world and dead to humanity.Vvo got thousands of that kinds of Christians in the grave yards. I like a Christian that has llfo enough to scratch around. Unless n church has lifn there will bo no spirit. And unless there Is spirit there will bo no friction and the church will go to the wall. Go into tbo Sunday school , the workshop ; go every where , and bring in sinners. Go drink of the water of life , got on board a largo stork of surplui energy , and you will bo surprised how much more easllv your work will move along. Got life , and you are all right.

CHECKMATING ME SHARKS , They Can No Loagar 'Rftb OlalniiinU of the Go7ernm6iit. THE BEE'S ' GREAT BUREAU OF CLAIMS , It ItpfViPiKtM Srttl6r , Willows , Oritlmiifl itlnl Soldiers nnil N Conimemlctl hy the HlKlicjt Authority. Mtn who have had claims against tbo pov eminent and employed professional agents to represent them before the deoartnionts In Washington , toll strange stories of tricks nnd rascality to which they were subjected nt the hands of these merciless .creatures There are of course , some honest men among these agents ; but there are so many that are notoriously corrupt , that It Is almost im possible for a claimant , unless ho bo direct ed by n well-Informed Individual , to llnd ono in whom ho can place Implicit conlldenco. Tun HIE has received hundreds of com plaints from soldiers and other * who had advanced money when so desired and who waited for years nnd yet failed to receive any information as regards what the sharks had done with either money or claim. Tun IU.RUIXS also been requested to recom mend reliable ngonts nnd has , In this way , served to protect the people from fraud and robbery. Hut that did no eood to the people who had fallen Into the hands of sharks. As rapidly as the latter were shown up , now ones with new Iricks and rascality took their places. There was but ono means loft and that waste to establish n great bureau of claims. This idea was suggested to n numuor of people but was put Into practice ) flrst by the San Fran- cico Examiner. With the Examiner , Tun ltiilms : cooperated ted 1 n the great work of alfordlng relief to worthy claimants. The Washington correspondent of the Ex iiminer , Mr. John VVcddcrburn , who has nlso acted as private secretary to Senator Hearst , was detailed to organize and take charge of the bureau. His long service in Washington in both these capacities had given bun a largo acquaintance with government ofllclals and government methods. Knowing the men and the proper procedure to follow , ho was chosen as well quallllcd to pusli claims through in tbo shortest time If they wore Justly duo. The best lawyers to bo had were then em- traced and a full clerical force put into the bureau. In every Instance the men wcro chosen for their knowledge of the work to bo dono. Congress was not los < anxious to protect claimants from robbery. The snino kind of complaints had como to Tin : fir.i : and gene to the members of congress as well. The com mittees that had the Indian depreciations bill under consideration investigated the opera tions of the claim agents and attorneys In connection with the Indian depredations eluiins. They fouud that the claim aircnts had demanded : ! : ! ' ( , to 50 per cent from the men holding the claims , mid in hundred * of cases held contracts at tbeso ligures. While the bill was still in congress , with llttlo np- patent chance of pjssngo , they were able , by metnods dangerously near the line of false pretenses , to induce the claimants to sign the exorbitant demands. There appeared to be only ono way to pro tect the claimants. That was to cancel all contracts by law and limit the fees that at torneys might collect. The claimants would thus be enabled to cheese another agent if tlio one they nad lirst engaged had attempted to defraud thorn , and ttio contracts could not demand moro than the specified rate. Tno ninth section of. the bill was thus drawn to annul "all sales , transfers or as signments of claims" and "all contracts here tofore mado. " The maximum fco to bo al lowed was put at 15 per cent of ttio amount collected except in case of claims under KQO or where unusual work had to bo done , when 20 per cent might b < j allowed. The amount of business received imme diately after the opening of the bureau is a proof of the confidence In which the people bold It and of the distrust which the ordi nary claim agent lias aroused. In the six weeks , front April 1 to May 15 , claims to the amount of $4J' > .r > , : ui.li5J < ! were filed with the uurcau on account of Indian depredation claims alono. All these go to the court of claims under the act and are in various stages of preparation and prosecution. He- sides the claims unuur the Indian dcprcda- tion act thcro had boon Hied at that date treasury claims to the amount of $ J'I)4 : ! ( ! ! ) ; French spoliation claims to the amount of $ > . > S > , S < 33 : laud claims , $ JS9UO : ; and patent and other claims to a largo amount. Since that date some j > J,000OUO of claims have been filed with the bureau , and It is now attending overOUOOOOof claims. The need for the bureau may well bo seen by the fact that it now has on hand moro claims than all of the claim attorneys of Washington combined. Tlio efforts of congress and the establish ment of the bureau was not appreciated by the claim agents. They wanted to continue to thrive in their business of lleocbiR tlio needy claimant. They accordingly denounced the government niul the bureau. They hold that the former could not cancel the contracts they hull made with their victims. Hut the cancellation was imido In tbo interest and name of the pcop'o. And it need not bo doubted that the eminent constitutional law- > oars who framoi1 the act in question did not do so without knowing what they were doing The threats of the sharks undoubtedly hud n > i olfect upon some men who desired to make now contracts and secure the services of some other nt tornoy , hut this effect will soon bo destroyed and the emancipation of tlio claimant from the tyranny of the shark will bo complete. The amount of raonov that will bo saved to the people by this work of Tin : Hiu : Hi KUAU or Ci.UMS.may not bo calculated. It will cor- tuiuly bo very great. Tlio work will bo done as near n.'tu d cost as possible. Some of it will not cost moro than 5 per cent , while much of It can bo done within the 1.1 and 'JO per cent allowed by law. In some cases the JO per cent may bo required. It is the Inten tion , however , to give the claimant the betio- lit of the lowest charges that will cover the expenses of the .service. Tin : Dm : Ik iu.uf : will prosecute claims In the supreme court of the United States , the court of claims , thosovoral courts of the Dis trict of Columbia , before the committees of congress nnd the executive departments. U will sccuio the piymontof just. Indian dopro- datlou claims , land claims , pension claims , mining pru-emptlon and homestead eases and obtain patents at minimum cost and the greatest despatch.

AN iNTKKKhTINiJ IMOIUItK. 'Mn jo r "Mclvlnlcy anil UN Domestic Ijll'c A Happy Homo. "Fow public men hnvo as much to im pel them as Major MeKinley , who is Ohio's republican candidate for gov ernor , ' ( said a woman to a reporter of the Hallimoro Amotican. "If the people ple only knew as much about Major McKinloy's domestic life ah I do , ' ' con tinued tlio woman , "they would admire Hie man moro. On , hut how Mrs. Me Kinley does love her husband and inspire him in his win-k ! Slio is an invalid of many years' snlVering , but she is the most patient , Hwoot-tL'tnpcreil woman you over saw. You know Major and Mr ? . McICinley have lived hoi out lliis hotel twelve or llfteon years , and wo who have lived here , too , during that time have s-eon something of the devotion between the wife and Iho author of Iho now larill law. "Most mon win ) hnvo so many atten tions shown them by the public , who are invited out every day and night lo homo dinner , lunch , supper , caucus , con ference , political or other mooting , would , nfter a number o' years at least , bo forgetful of their wives , especially if tlio wives were invalids , and would seldom bo found at homo of mghls. lint it is not so with Mayor Mckinley. I In would always prefer to sit down hero in his littto parlor , just oil from their bedroom - room , and spend an evening with his wife , than attend the grandest banquet and receive the applause of tlio people. "Mrs. Mclvinloy can never hnvo too much other husband's presence , " con tinued tlio woman , who had known these two persons for very many years. "Sho invariably sits at tlio window where she can see her husband depart in the morning and got the lirst possible glance of him when ho returns for lunch or dinner , and you can see her eyes dull with pain or light witli happi ness as ho leaves or disappears around the corner , and then reappears upon his return. Her husband is everything to her for she cannot walk without hU sup port , and never goes out without her husband. She lias trouble with lior spine , poor , sweet woman , and looks as delicate as a lily. She always has his photograph in her lap when ho doee any needlework , of which she is fond , anil her maid can tell at a glance in her eyes if she is thinking of tlio absent husband , for she looks hap piest then. Never a word of coin- plaint escapes her lips. No pain , anxi ety or suspense shows itself if ho is about. They are like two sweethearts indeed. Such devotion between man and wife after a married life of well , I suppose It must ho about twenty years I haven ever soon. "When Major and Mrs. McKinley were leaving the hotel , and wo had all s.iid good-by , one lady remarked that 'the next time you come back , Mrs. Me- Kinley , it will be to live at the white house. ' 'No , ' was the reply , 'I hope not. ' When asked whv she would netlike like to bo in tlio white house , whore every woman wanted to live , she said : 'I hnvo seen so little of Major McKin ley at times .hero that I hope wo may never return to Washington.1 And I know she meant it. Mrs. MeKin oy is tlio most sincere woman you could find. There is nolhinir affected by her. You can toll it all in her at a glance. "And she helps her husband so much in his work. Not by suggesting to him what ho should or should not do , but by giving him bolf-rolianco. I doubt if she lias much of an idea what ho Is going to say in a hlll-or speeeli or report. Shy' tolls him that ho will bay just the right thing ; that ho is strong and good and wise , and that if ho only tries ho can do anything , My ! hut she fairly forces into him conildenco. Tlio man who said ho would rallior hnvo confidence than capi tal must litivo known of Mrs. McKinloy's confidence in her husband. AWrillcn Guarantee to CUHE EVERY CASE or , MONEY HEFUNDED.
